Clutch under warranty?

[DRC]

Hey guys,

Just picked up my MK6 Golf 2.0TDI tonight, the valet carried out on the car makes it look lovely, but it needs detail which will happen on monday
The only niggle I have is, when pulling away, the clutch wobbles alot and also makes the car judder, would this be a warranty claim? It has done 40k miles but it is rather bad?

Cheers,
Dan.

Grey area, they may class it as a wear and tear item so will not cover it.

At 40k that is poor wear and tear based on life expectency.

As you've only just picked it up I'd be taking that straight back - did it do this on the test drive before you signed on the dotted line?

To be fair, I can't say I noticed it, car was a sales rep's before so they must of really rode the clutch!
I may try my local VW garage tomorrow and see what they say, they've always been helpful with services on my Seat's, but hey, you never know, could be total d*cks when it comes to their warranty
It may be the clutch plate, but my colleagues 1999 Golf GT TDI had 140k on the clock and still drives like it was new? So I shall raise that point

Go in firm but fair. State the issue and ask them for the diagnosis without offering your opinion.

Did you buy from VW or an independent ?

I'm surprised you've posted in here Dan when we have a TDI section?

I'm not sure what you mean by clutch wobble, whats wobbling the pedal?

Clutch pedal pulsating/vibrating

Yes there is something wrong get it checked. If they say its the same on all 2.0 TDI's then ask them to show you another one that does it or better still choose your own TDI from the parking lot to try.

Where was it bought from?

Do these have the dual mass flywheel?

Great minds think alike, I have no idea why we both thought the same thing though 
 
Sounds to us like your dual mass flywheel is FUBAR

Tbh my 1999 Leon felt the same when I had to get the clutch plate changed
